Firm founder, James McKiernan, is a San Luis Obispo personal injury attorney with over 35 years of legal experience. The results he has obtained for his clients has merited his inclusion in the Million Dollar Advocates Forum. This is a prestigious group of trial lawyers who have won million-dollar settlements and verdicts for their clients. Less than one percent of all lawyers in the U.S. belong to this organization; this demonstrates the difficulty of achieving such a high level of results for personal injury victims.
